Easter Dress Hunting

It is that time of year again that all little girls love so dearly, yet hate so fiercely - Easter. They love it because of the Easter egg hunts and chocolate overload, but hate it because it means mom has to dress them up in the most frilly dress ever along with the lacy socks, hat, gloves and purse to match, and naturally, all these accessories are quite inhibiting when racing around trying to find all the eggs. Although in my case, I just plain loved it, chocolate and pretty dresses - could it really get any better? When it comes to Easter dress hunting, I look for pretty pastels and beautiful bouquets, and of course big bows and sweet details like ruffles, lace and scalloped edges. It needs to be fresh and light and cheerful and something that does not require tiered lace bloomers underneath or white patent leather Mary Janes. The last thing that I look for in the perfect Easter dress, is that it is flattering on, even after eating a seven course meal topped off with some chocolate stolen from the baby's Easter basket - don't worry, she wasn't going to eat it anyway, she doesn't even have teeth yet.
